'lhe'following description will enable others skilled in the art to prepare the compound.

My water-proof oil polish is compounded of ten pounds of asphaltum, one gallon of fish or neat s-foot oi], one gullon spirits turpentine, two and one-half pounds rosin, one pound of beeswax, and one-half pound lampbluck. This is prepared by dissolving the alsphaltum and rosin in thespirits turpentine by heating them in any suitable vessel over a slow fire, after which the lampblack, beeswax, and oil are added, and thoroughly incorporated by stirring while hOLV The compound is applied .with a. brush in the ordinary manner. I I I may also state that I sometimes add about one-fourth pound of beef tallow to the above compound when used for harness.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire tosecure by Letters. Patent, 1s-- The water-proof oil polish compounded of theingredients named, or their chemical equivalents, inthe manner and for the purpose substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
